Identification and verification
Prior to your arrival, please confirm whether you or your physician needs to meet any admission requirements, such as pre-authorization, physician referral or second opinion from your insurance carrier(s).
To ensure that you receive maximum reimbursement from your insurance carrier(s), please note whether you or your physician need to meet any admission requirements, such as pre-authorization, physician referral or second opinion. Failure to meet these requirements could reduce or even eliminate your insurance benefits.
Billing process
Following your surgery, our business office will bill your insurance carrier(s) directly. The insurance carrier will then provide you an "explanation of benefits" (EOB) statement. Don't worry—this is not a bill. The EOB itemizes all services you received at Methodist Hospital for Surgery and explains what the insurance carrier will pay our hospital and which portion you'll need to cover.
Once the EOB is processed, we'll bill you for the portion not covered by insurance; this will be due upon receipt. While Methodist Hospital for Surgery will bill you for hospital services, please note that you may receive separate bills and may be out-of-network for services provided by:
- Anesthesiologists.
- Emergency room physicians.
- Hospitalists and internists.
- Pathologists.
- Primary care.
- Physicians.
- Specialty care.
- Physicians.
- Radiologists.
- Surgeons.
- Other specialists.
